CBD cream or oil: does it reach your bloodstream?
NCT ID NCT07359976
First seen Jan 22, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study looked at how a natural hemp extract cosmetic product, containing CBD in coconut oil, enters the blood when applied to the skin or taken by mouth. Twenty healthy adults each tried both methods, with a 15-day break in between. Researchers measured CBD, THC, and their breakdown products in blood and checked urine for THC. The goal was simply to understand absorption, not to treat any disease.
